Valeo Silencio XTRM

Valeo was the only one to warn of the risk of sprung wiper arms hitting the screen during fitting.

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

The instructions were very clear, although the adaptor could be fitted the wrong way. This is odd, as the design is similar to the Wiper Blades product, which can’t be incorrectly fitted.
